Security Ninja Free Features

First let’s go through the features of the free version of Security Ninja, First install the free plugin by downloading it from wordpress.org or adding a new plugin. Once the plugin got activated head towards the Security Ninja plugin area to run more than 50 test runs on your site.

Click on the run test button to run the series of tests and to analyze the site.

run test

After testing is done Security Ninja tells the overall test score with information of passed test, failed test and an overall score of the site in percentage.

The elaborative test result will display in detail with every test is passed or failed, if the test is failed it will give some tip for that to handle the issue.

Some of the test it does on the site

  • Numerous installation parameters tests
  • File permissions
  • Version hiding
  • Debug and auto-update modes tests
  • Database configuration tests
  • WP options tests

Security Ninja finds any vulnerable codes in theme or in other plugins but it won’t modify that code until you give the permissions.

Security Ninja Pro Features

If you want the solution for the issues you found in the free version you need to go for the paid version where you will get the Auto Fixer option to fix the issues in one click. and there are more features in Pro versions like Core Scanner, Malware Scanner, Scheduled Scanner, and Events Logger. Using these features you can give high security to your website.

1. Core Scanner

Core Scanner helps to test the core WordPress default files, This checks the core files in deeper which are from WordPress and tells whether there are modified files or new files.

core scanner

If any new files detected or any file need to be fixed you can do this within a single click.

2. Malware Scanner

Security Ninja Malware Scanner will look into any malicious code are present on the website. This test was done by the “heuristic analysis method” that compares the code and patterns that often used by malicious scripts.

After the test is done Security Ninja detects the files which have malicious behavior and gives a list of that file. you need to check those file which literally has the malicious behavior before deleting that.

In the list you will get the option to delete or white list that file, White list means making that file exclude from the next tests.

3. Firewall

Security Ninja Firewall blocks the unknown malicious IP addresses and unknown requests from your website. There are several suspicious Ip addresses that target the sites to inject their SQL, Security Ninja has a list of known IP address which can cause this problem and prevent your site from malicious activities.

When you activate Firewall you will get a unique site URL, using this you can recover your site if your IP got banned in any case.

In Firewall settings, you will get two main options one is Prevent Banned IPs from Accessing the Site – prevent IP that is already in the blocked list of the plugin to access your site second is Block Suspicious Page Requests – filter out page requests which have suspicious query strings.

You can block IP from certain countries by sending a message to them or by adding a redirection link you can redirect them to a different URL

firewall

If you but the site using WordPress hackers can directly go to the login page by simply adding /wp-admin after your domain name, and they can start entering some random login credentials so Security Ninja has the option to block those IPs after some unsuccessful logins. You can set the limit of unsuccessful login attempts and the span of time for the blocking of IP.

You can check the visitor logs also here.

4. Scheduled Scanner

The scheduler is one of the best features of the plugin, you can schedule the Core scanner and Malicious scanner for different time intervals like monthly, weakly, daily, or twice a day based on your interest. You can activate sending email reports also after each run you will get a report or you can change that when malicious activities found at the time only.
